What about five wiseass bastards, one TOUAMB thread?

Two Men and a Baby...

One Riot one Ranger.

"Adventureland" is pretty awesome.

Mostly because I always like movies about recent college grads realizing they are lost and confused.
Also it used a Replacements song I love in a way that was really fantastic,
it was about having a crappy job and meeting a cool girl you like,
and there was this line where he explains his virginity with a line about how he had chances, something just always came up. I laughed very hard at that, for some reason, I don't know.

Anyway, I enjoyed it.
Also, why do girls with far-away boyfriends always like me so much. This is getting ridiculous.

Today I'm gonna try to stay up late enough to see if he posts a strip today, and then give up and go to bed at 11, rationalizing that it is better to get strips on a weekend when most other comics don't update anyway.

how far away, inev? because over 100 miles = make a move. long distance don't work. take a risk, you might get some play from it

On film sets, they have the "x Miles Rule"... people have different mileage for it depending on the people but generally, some people believe that if you're working a job so far away that you're not sleeping in your own bed for weeks and months, it's not cheating.

Of course, this has nothing to do with you, because they can smell indecision on you so it is harmless to flirt with you.

Your inaction has made you less than a man to them. They can smell it. Understand this.

Speaking as someone who spent many years in a long distance relationship, SHAME on both of you.

Inev, apparently you have plenty of single women throwing themselves at you and you do nothing about it. There is no excuse to choose one who has a boyfriend to break that pattern with, OK?

I'm not backing the x-miles rule but I'm calling bullshit on this sentiment. If She is coming onto Him how is it his fault? Is she not as much of an adult as he is and not able to make her own decisions about her relationship? Where does he get off telling her what is right and wrong for her?
That said if cuckolding a dude isn't something you're cool with (and yeah, I generally wouldn't be either) then that's your call. I just always hate the way the person not in the relationship gets blamed in these sorts of situations, the 'they stole my boy/girlfriend' sentiment makes me want to bust heads.

By refusing to participate with her in the activity of cheating on her boyfriend, the person not in the relationship makes the choice not to be a dick to a stranger. I was of the impression that we were all supporters of this approach to life.

I do not actually have any single women throwing themselves at me, but I agree with this judgment.
Also, my parents dated for like 5 years long-distance, and both had people telling them "long distance things never work," so I am sympathetic to the idea.

I do not want to be That Guy, especially as someone who has been cheated on. Also, as a person who tries not to be a dick to people.



Last night we hung out with my friend's girlfriend, who is a Spaniard. We spent the night telling her jokes in English that she had never heard. It was pretty fantastic.

She told us a joke which is my new favorite:
So this playmobil guy goes into a restaurant and asks for a Fanta. The waiter says, "oh, do you want grape fanta or orange? we have both." The playmobil man says "actually, I don't really care, I'm just going to throw it over my shoulder anyway."

This was especially funny to me because playmobil toys were 90% of my childhood, and I remember being frustrated by their lack of elbows.
Also: based on the picture I linked to, they have phased out the heads that allow hats to stay on, in favor of weird helmet-hair.

I agree, but it bugs me that the socially accepted impulse seems to be to put it all on them. As if, if it is all the non-relationship person's fault then the relationship person can be totally forgiven and the relationship can move on as if nothing happened.
